A tip for other possible buyers.... The pliers on the can imply yellow contents, since the back has 4 squares showing available colors, including yellow. I thought I was getting yellow, but ended up with black. My can didn't have a sticker like your can did on the lid showing color. Good independent tutorial though.

[@HowToVideoChannel]

Yes, it is a confusing canister.

[@jwonderfulsuccess]

Thanks for the reminder 🙏🕊✨ this is a game changer!!

[@HowToVideoChannel]

You're so welcome!

[@rustytri1]

Would this work on knife handle to help prevent slipping in hand.

[@HowToVideoChannel]

Yes, it should work well.

[@longdongsilver4719]

No.

[@shawnmorrissey8147]

I wonder if you can put on furniture feet to stop the riust from going on the patio

[@HowToVideoChannel]

Yes. However, you may experience some of the black rubbing onto your patio.

[@TheSilverSurfisher]

Greeting and Thanks for this terrific informative video creation. I want to use this on a trailer hitch Ball to basically transform it to something similar to a ram mount ball base, and attach my large fishfinder screen to it via a ram double socket ram mount arm clamp. It will be swiveled or turned sometimes while clamped. If I sand the stainless steel ball with heavy grit sandpaper first, do you think it will be good enough to prevent the Plasti-Dip rubber from peeling off right away? FYI, I need to have about 4 coats to build the rubber coating up to almost 1/4 inch thick!

[@HowToVideoChannel]

I would definitely really rough up the ball. Then, if you do several coats, it may work. The test will be in how much friction there will be and whether or not that will rip the plastic coats. Let us know your results!

[@jenniferpatterson6462]

Would this work to restore a gymnastics bar with patches of rust ? Should I try to remove the current coating or could this be used to patch up the rusty bits ? Thx

[@HowToVideoChannel]

I’d remove the rust first. Patching might work but I think it would rub off with all of the friction.

[@maryjanedelapena8247]

can i spray this to a laptop that has an existing rubber coating on it? just to make it look new again. or i need to strip all the rubber first?

[@HowToVideoChannel]

You could try it. The worst thing may be that the texture is going to be different and it may flake off. Try it, but you might be better off getting a new case or cover for the laptop.

[@voiceofhislove8650]

I have a small metal basket that holds kitchen dish cleaning items in my kitchen sink. The dip material looks like a good material to coat the bottom of the metal basket so it does not scratch my metal sink finish. My husband tends to put the metal basket in a dishwasher periodically. Would this rubber coating withstand a dishwasher on the top rack? If not we can just had wash, but wondered if you would share any thoughts on it.

[@HowToVideoChannel]

I’m not sure about the durability of running it through the dishwasher. I think it would survive if you used multiple coats. If you try it, be sure to comment again with the results!

[@voiceofhislove8650]

@@HowToVideoChannel -Thank you for getting back with me. My husband and I agreed not to test it in the dishwasher. So I am just letting you know so you realize I heard your request to let you know if the coating held up or not. I am glad I saw your KZbin on Plasti Dip. I was able to dip it for a single uniform coating on the bracket legs. I found no need to add more coats. Being lazy, I do not want to chance the coating coming off in the future so I will just hand wash it as needed.

[@HowToVideoChannel]

That sounds great! I probably wouldn’t chance it either. Thanks for keeping us informed!

[@omarshall4881]

Is there a way to brush or roll this onto metal without it making a texture or do you have to use the spray

[@HowToVideoChannel]

Get the liquid instead of the spray.

[@conradbegay1483]

If I use this on wire mesh. Would the product make the wire mesh sturdy?

[@HowToVideoChannel]

It would still be flexible

[@justinhorn4246]

Would this work for a tow cable to help save the cable? I need something like heat shrink kinda deal but strong and will handle rough duties

[@HowToVideoChannel]

I think it would scrape or peel off the cable. I’d try something like pickup truck bed liner.

[@justinhorn4246]

Thank ya

[@Potato-tf3hv]

I would like to make concrete dumbells and coat them in something similar to make them abit more shock resistant and not have edges cracking off, what would you recommend as a coating for them? I was thinking of truck bed liner but it’s abit too expensive from what I have seen.

[@HowToVideoChannel]

Truck bed liner would be the most durable coating. I’ve used Hurculiner before. Other than that, I’d suggest multiple coats of Plastidip. Flex Seal would work but it tends to leave a lot of scuff marks on floors.

[@ZipZash]

How would you cover an area or side of an object that you submerge in the plasti dip? For example, I want to dip a metal ring, but keep one side and a small piece of it rubber-free, any recommendations?

[@HowToVideoChannel]

Put some tape over it. Then peel the tape off after dipping. Maybe try a practice run on a test item first.

[@ZipZash]

@@HowToVideoChannel will try thank you

[@HowToVideoChannel]

Did it work for you?

[@brandonquan5454]

How well will stuff work on Plastic/3d printing material, im planning to use this on a 3d printed fore grip

[@HowToVideoChannel]

It should work without any issue. I suppose it depends on what you are trying to achieve.

[@ejshelby5460]

Can you brush the liquid one onto hard plastic, to coat the plastic?

[@HowToVideoChannel]

Yes.

[@thomasjupp5177]

Would multiple coats of this on a former be suitable for a creating car door seals?

[@HowToVideoChannel]

It’s possible, but a car door seal is more pliable and some have a hollow core. Therefore, you could try it as an experiment to see how it works.

[@Deweycox710]

I was wondering if you could use this to make a mold! I would be pouring this into a plastic mold. Would it come out easily out of the mold or adhere to the plastic? Thanks!

[@HowToVideoChannel]

I’d recommend using flex seal liquid. It should work well for you!

[@glennmorrell8964]

hi, could you use it to touch up or paint lettering on tyres?

[@HowToVideoChannel]

I think so. But I’d probably use paint instead.

Is it possible to use it to make a rubber coat for the inside of a container that need to get more friction inside this one ?

[@HowToVideoChannel]

I’m not quite sure what you’re asking. But, I bet it’s possible.

[@rolfmears6160]

Can this product be used to re-waterproof a built-in tent groundsheet? The existing one has partially perished but the base webbing is still intact. It would have to be able to be rolled/folded.

[@HowToVideoChannel]

It may be worth a try. However, the concern is that the plastic addition would peel off of your groundsheet. You may wish to try Flex Tape.

[@mikeingeorgia1]

I used Flex-seal for a similar application. I needed to reline the interior top flap of an ALICE pack and the inside of an azz pack. I got some grey Flex-seal and gave them a pretty substantial coating. So far it’s working just fine

[@nicolasquin1345]

Hey. Brother I just go some new set of dumbells from 5-75 lbs gym quality . how would you go about dipping or coating a dumbell

[@HowToVideoChannel]

I’d use the PlastiDip

[@MapesT]

Will this work and hold up to re color the sides of my hiking boots soles?

[@HowToVideoChannel]

It will, but pickup truck bed liner would be better.

[@tylerbunting5219]

How "grippy" is this stuff? I'm wanting to coat something so that it is less likely to slide around inside a smooth plastic tray inside my car while I drive. Does this "stick" pretty well or is it pretty smooth? I have used plasti-dip spray from dip your car on the outside of my truck and the finish is not very rubbery - any idea how this compares to that?

[@HowToVideoChannel]

I’d recommend using flex seal liquid. It is a little more grippy than the plasti dip liquid. You’ll also get a better coat with the liquid than with the spray.

[@mipe7755]

This is so unimportant, but I like the shape of the spray can :D

[@HowToVideoChannel]

That’s alright, thanks for commenting.

[@rustyboi5402]

Would you recommend flex seal or plasti dip

[@HowToVideoChannel]

Depends on what you want to use it for.

[@jatwangismyname900]

How long does the coating last. Is it permanent? I want to rust proof some metals with this

[@HowToVideoChannel]

Depends on what you apply it to and how often it’s used. I’d recommend PlastiDip over Flex Seal for rust proofing some metals. It’s good for tool handles.

[@oliverlison]

How think will be one coat?

[@HowToVideoChannel]

Not thick enough. You’ll need at least 3 coats.

[@longWriter]

If I wanted to paint over something that had been coated in plasti-dip spray, would that be an option? (After it's dried, of course)

[@HowToVideoChannel]

It should stick, but may rub off with use.

[@longWriter]

@@HowToVideoChannel Would primer help with that? And/or sealer?

[@HowToVideoChannel]

Probably not. But primer may be worth a try. Let us know your results if you decide to try it!

[@longWriter]

@@HowToVideoChannel Will do; thanks!

[@longWriter]

@@HowToVideoChannel I did an experiment where I found plasti-dip wasn't what I needed for my use-case, but realistically, that's on me: not on plasti-dip. I simply didn't pick the right tool for the job. I was hoping for something that I could spray over cloth that would be flexible when dry, and that I could then paint over. (I'm guessing people with experience are already cringing at this point in the narrative. Don't worry; there was very little loss on my part.) And I did an experiment where I took an old sock and sprayed it with several coats of Plasti-dip to try to get it to the point where it had a smooth texture. Most of the plasti-dip soaked into and through the sock, but with enough coats, the texture on top _began_ to look something like smooth. Flexibility alone was a dealbreaker for my use case; when dried, the plasti-dip was very much rigid, and indeed stuck the inside of the sock to itself so you couldn't put anything into the sock. Of course, that rigidity is a *good* thing for most people's use-cases for plasti-dip---just not for mine. Even though I already knew I wouldn't be using platsi-dip for my project, I also did experiment with painting over the plasti-dip after it dried, and the paint did seem to stick, but it also seemed to bleed through. For context, I was working with acrylics, and it's often expected that you'll need multiple coats with the kinds of paint I was working with in any case. Primer did seem to help, but there was still bleed-through. I didn't experiment with rub-off; in retrospect, I should've. Oh well.

[@silverlover5817]

Thanks for the video.

[@HowToVideoChannel]

You are welcome!

[@ruslan_voyager]

How firmly does it stay on the surface?

[@HowToVideoChannel]

It stays pretty well.

[@jatwangismyname900]

How thick is the coating. After drying, does the coating cracks, as with paint

[@HowToVideoChannel]

The thickness depends on how many coats you apply. It doesn’t crack as far as I’ve experienced.

[@jatwangismyname900]

@@HowToVideoChannel is it better than PVC plastisol

[@TheBrothersCompound]

How do you properly store this for long term? I feel like it will dry out after one use.

[@HowToVideoChannel]

Use the lid that comes with the canister.

[@effenfish661]

i poured the unused portion into a small glass jar, then stored the jar upside down. the updide down part seems weird, but is seals the container. i just used some plasti dip from that jar, over a year later

[@missmolly8529]

Can this product be removed easily or is stuck down permanently?

[@HamidSBaig]

Does it have elasticity or expansion after its set. I mean if I use it on some shape (Lets say a small balloon shaped item) then let it set/dry and remove from the item i coated on. Then use it as a balloon under some pneumatic pressure. I only want a small expansion.

[@HowToVideoChannel]

Plasti Dip has a little bit of movement to it. So does Flex Seal. However, for what you are going for, I’d try Plasti Dip first.

[@HamidSBaig]

@@HowToVideoChannel Thanks for response.

Does this product work on glass?

[@HowToVideoChannel]

Yes, it should.

I have an elderly Alzheimer's patient who keeps biting his spoons real hard. Can I dip his eating utensils in this stuff to coat like baby spoons? Is it safe for something like that?

[@HowToVideoChannel]

I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s probably not safe to ingest.

The rubber handle of my chisel rotted away. Can I repair it with this?

You can brush it. There isn’t any noticeable odor.

I think so

[@bretgreen5314]

Nice; thank you

[@callmekatmeow]

Is there a way you Can remove or slide the plasti dip off the tool also or can you spray something prior to ensure removing the plastic in one piece ?

[@HowToVideoChannel]

Yes, dip the tool in some hot wax a couple times first. Then you can dip it in the plasti-dip. You should be able to pull the plastic off of the wax. Freezing or heating will make it easier.

[@life.withkyle]

[@ronarndt6722]

This stuff is somewhat misleading. It's a "rubberized" coating and Not a "Plastic" coating as is interchangeably being implied. I'm looking for an actual "Plastic" coating and not a "Rubberized" coating (although the product implies "Plastic". Maybe this stuff is a combo of rubber and plastic?

[@HowToVideoChannel]

You’re correct. It is more of a rubberized coating. I’m not aware of any “plastic coating” product. Epoxy would be the closest thing I know of.
